CAPTIVA LIBRARY
The Shell Club has held twomeetings devoted to a discussionof raising shells in salt wateraquaria. In this connection, theCaptiva Library has a volumeentitled "The Salt Water A-quarium In theHome"by R.P.S.Straughan. Better reserve it inadvance.
Since November 1, the Li-brary has been open two extrahours of each week-from ita'Aon Saturdays. The plan was toaccomodate "those people whocannot get to the Library onTuesday or Friday mornings.The response has been some-what disappointing, so the staffhas decided to keep on the theSaturday opening thru Decemberand go back to the regular twodays a week if the demand 1Bnot greater than it has been.
